Rachel and Stephen, the history-making winners of The Traitors, have reunited and revealed their next television project together. The duo, who became the BBC series' first ever 'double traitor win', will appear on a celebrity installment of The Weakest Link.
Historic Win on The Traitors
In the final, Rachel and Stephen faced two faithfuls, Jack and Faraaz. After Faraaz was banished, the remaining players voted again, and Jack was devastated when Stephen voted against him. The pair then won together, each taking home just under £48,000. Host Claudia Winkleman told them: "Two traitors but totally faithful to each other. You did it. You absolutely did it." Stephen said to Rachel: "I had moments where I was doubting what I was going to do tonight, but I couldn't go back on my word to you." Rachel added: "It's the best feeling in the world. I think it will be a very long time until you get the smile off my face."
Next TV Move: Celebrity Weakest Link
Taking to Instagram, Rachel and Stephen shared behind-the-scenes videos from the set of Celebrity Weakest Link, where stars answer rapid-fire trivia to bank money for charity while voting off teammates. In one clip, Rachel tells Stephen not to write her name down, and he responds with a cheeky wink, referencing their pact on The Traitors.
Celebrity Traitors Success
Last year, the first Celebrity Traitors aired, with Alan Carr winning £87,500 for Neuroblastoma UK after undetected as a traitor. The series averaged 14.9 million viewers, with 15.4 million tuning in for the finale, making it the top entertainment episode since 2016. The second celebrity series will begin filming at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
